In a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter on April 5, 2024, football spectators witnessed a closely contested match between Stars Olympic D'Abobo (SODA) and Societe Omnisport Armee (SOA). The match was decided by a solitary goal from the home side, Stars Olympic D'Abobo, giving them the crucial three-point edge required to solidify their standings.

The only goal of the match was scored early in the second half at precisely 01:28:17. The home team's discipline and defence contributed significantly to their victory. They did well to contain the aggressive SOA, who had more corner kicks (4 to 2) and seemed to dominate the game but couldn't convert their advantage into a goal.

Interestingly, while SODA scored the decisive goal, they were only granted two corner kicks compared to SOA's four. This suggests their defensive resilience was tested throughout the game, and they rose to the challenge. They only found themselves in an offside position once compared to SOA, who found themselves offside thrice, indicating a more disciplined approach from the home side.

Disciplinary infractions saw both teams picking up two yellow cards each. SODA's first offence was in the first half at 00:33:35, while the second came later at 01:07:49 in the second half. On the other hand, SOA maintained a clean slate in the first half, and didn't pick up any cards but seemed to lose their composure later on as they picked up two yellows at 01:10:20 and 01:25:18 respectively. Neither team had any player sent off, suggesting a fair play despite the heated contest.

In conclusion, SODA’s solitary goal coupled with disciplined defence was the key differentiating factor. They were efficient in converting the few opportunities they got into a goal while successfully warding off attacks from SOA who, despite having a more dominant presence with more corner kicks, couldn't convert their opportunities into goals, thereby losing the match by a narrow margin of 1-0. The data suggests a game of tight margins, where SODA made their opportunities count.
